"Can you tell me what happened?" Bai Yu asked with a pale face.

Tang Geng, who had a very guilty expression, lowered his head without saying a word, he really didn't know how to answer this question, when it happened, four people suddenly appeared and directly surrounded him, although the strength was not strong, but these four people just restrained him perfectly, so that he couldn't get rid of people at all, let alone save people, and only after the matter was completely over, he got out, and then he spent a day without finding Lu An, so he reluctantly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

"It happened too fast, even if I was prepared, but the other party was more and better prepared than us, I also wanted to stop it, but..." Tang Geng knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't think of a better reason to explain.

Bai Yu slapped the table extremely angrily, stood up directly, pointed at Tang Geng's nose and scolded: "If you really serve a snack, you will not even be able to let out a fart as a grandmaster? Do you know that even Tian Man died that day! The president of the trade union was killed at the sword forging ceremony! Everyone still thinks that it was the City Lord's Mansion who killed him! Do you know that this matter is serious!"

After Tang Geng heard the news that Tian Man was also dead, his whole face changed greatly, and he stood up directly, "What? He's really dead?"

Bai Yu nodded unusually solemnly, "If those people are okay alone, and now that Tian Man is dead, then the nature of this matter will be different, the union will inevitably start a war with the City Lord's Mansion, and it is no longer possible to ask for an explanation, in addition to Tian Man, Chen Yuan's grandson Chen Ye is also dead, this faction is not something that can be fooled casually." ”

Tang Geng's brows trembled twice, and his eyes instantly turned cold, "Then why don't you take this opportunity to do nothing and hold the union directly in your hand?"

Bai Yu took a deep breath and eased his mood, "This is a method, but unfortunately it is a bit inapplicable now, this will only make the union and the craftsman city break up, in this way, the craftsman city will definitely be hit hard, and it is a bit unworthy." ”

Tang Geng sighed in disappointment, "If we don't come hard, what should we do? Waiting for them to come hard? It's not a good thing to drag it on." ”

Bai Yu shook his head, "Everything is still in time, what I'm most worried about now is Lu An, where are the others? Could something have happened? Now the entire Craftsman City is looking for him, but we can't go out to look for him, so many people outside are looking at us, this is the most embarrassing place, we can only rely on others." ”

"Then I'll go?" Tang Geng said tentatively.

Bai Yu glanced at Tang Geng twice and nodded, "You go find the people of Xiaoyao Pavilion first, Lu An has a good relationship with Xiaoyao Pavilion, and he may ask them for help." ”

Tang Geng nodded immediately after hearing this, and then turned to leave.

After Tang Geng left, Zhao Liu walked in slowly, with a look of loss, "Master Bai, I disappointed you!"

Bai Yu nodded faintly, waved his hand, and asked Zhao Liu to sit down.

Zhao Liu obediently sat opposite Bai Yu and took the lead in speaking: "I don't know why things have suddenly progressed to this point. ”

Bai Yu waved his hand and asked disappreciatively: "Zhao Liu, what are you a wise man, what is a fool, and which of the two is more likely to fail?"

"The wise are not confused, and the fool is not wise, so naturally the fool is more likely to fail. Zhao Liu replied.

Bai Yu shook his head, "No, no, the smarter people tend to fail, and the more stupid people are, the less likely they will fail." ”

Zhao Liu felt extremely puzzled, "Master Bai, how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, as the old saying goes, if the wise are foolish, the smart is mistaken by the smart, but the fool will not encounter this embarrassing situation, honestly, step by step, then success will naturally be in front of you, the wise often do not think so, opportunistic, how convenient how to come, but there are often accidents, the real wise man would rather be a step-by-step fool. Bai Yu said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhao Liu frowned and thought for a while, and nodded seriously, "Thank you Master Bai for your guidance, Zhao Liu understands." ”

Bai Yu nodded, and then waved his hand, "Go get busy, there are a lot of things in the house now, you are tired, I will take over the things you are worried about next, by the way, call Li Qing and his party over, I have something to say to them." ”

Zhao Liu nodded obediently and withdrew directly.

Li Qing hurriedly ran in, his face full of anxious expressions, "Uncle Shi, you're finally looking for us!"

Bai Yu nodded and got down to business, "Presumably you have heard the rumors outside, right?" Lu An hasn't found it yet. ”

Li Qing nodded, they all wanted to go out to find Lu An, but unfortunately they were suppressed by Bai Yu, so they could only stay in the City Lord's Mansion and wait for news, but Bai Yu's approach was not wrong, wouldn't it be to send them to death if they went out now, the gang in the union were angry now, if they found out, then what would it be?

"What should I do then?" Yu Wenchuan also asked anxiously.

Bai Yu continued: "Today, you also stay in the mansion honestly, don't go out, Lu An's whereabouts Tang Geng has already gone out to find it, wait for his news first, I know you are in a hurry, so I specially called you over and told you well, don't sneak out like last time, this time it's different from before, if you go out, you may really not come back!"

Everyone nodded.

"Li Qing stays, you guys go first. Bai Yu added again.

After everyone left, Li Qing looked at Bai Yu expectantly, "Uncle Shi, do you have any tasks for me?"

Bai Yu shook his head and asked, "Li Qing, the ugly words are ahead, if something really happens to Lu An, I can't help it." ”

Hearing this, Li Qing's whole person was shocked, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, Lu An has such a thing, you should also be able to think of the consequences, the people in the union will never let him go, and the people of several other sects will also do the same, they will definitely not let him have a good time, we know that this thing was not done by him, but these are no longer important, Lu An's reputation is getting louder and louder, and the same is true of notoriety, when his strength is not strong enough to care about this, he may never be able to show his face in public, just like your senior brother." Bai Yu said with great pity.

Li Qingren was already sluggish, with an unusually unwilling expression on his face, and a hint of crying in his tone, "Why is this happening? Senior Brother is like this, and now Lu An is like this!"

Bai Yu also sighed, "Why? Because the Craftsman City is a city, not a sect, and the city lord is here, then the Craftsman City is the heaven in the north, and the city lord is not there, so the Craftsman City is just an ordinary city." ”

"But what can this be? The other party has ridden on our faces, can we just let them do it?" Li Qing asked unwillingly.

Bai Yu shook his head and denied, "Have you forgotten what the city lord said to you before?" Lu An is in this situation, it is actually a good thing for you, the city lord intends to entrust the craftsman city to you, and Lu An just helped you block these things. ”

Li Qing nodded, "I know this, but I think Lu An is more worthy of this candidate than me, and I don't want to be so aggrieved!"

Bai Yu's brows furrowed directly, and he said very seriously: "Shut up! How can you let such an important matter be pushed off casually? This is the choice of the city lord, it is also Lu An's choice, and it is also the choice of your senior brother! You can't be sorry for them! If you are as impulsive as before, won't it make these three people more and more disappointed?"

Li Qing lowered his head suddenly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu's expression also softened, "Qing'er, Lu An actually knew that someone would come against him, and the situation became like this, he had some expectations, but he didn't want you to be like him, both of them became like this? ”

Li Qing was puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Why? Obviously, he is stronger than me, and everything is better than me, why did the city lord choose me instead of Lu An?"

Bai Yu slowly explained: "It's not the reason to be stronger than you, if you only talk about being strong, your senior brother is the person with the first talent for thousands of years, wouldn't it be more suitable? ”

Li Qing nodded silently.

"Do you remember what Lu An told you about that traitor before?" Bai Yu said.

Li Qing raised his head suddenly, with a hint of hatred in his eyes, "There must be him in here, right?"

Bai Yu nodded, "It's clear now, but it's a pity, such a peaceful craftsman city may change greatly in a few years, and the burden on your shoulders will be very heavy in the future!"

"With Uncle Shi here, the craftsman city must still be the craftsman city, and there will be absolutely no changes. Li Qing said seriously.

"Next, you can stay in the mansion and cultivate, you don't have to worry about anything, I will find someone to inform you if there is something, remember, don't trust others!" Bai Yu said solemnly.

Li Qing nodded, and then retired.

After everyone left, Bai Yu let out a long breath and coughed violently, several times in a row, and even his face turned red.

The old man walked in with a bowl of hot tea, sighed and said, "Why bother? Why do you let these little dolls bear this?"

Bai Yu breathed two breaths of relief, looked at Lao Fang and scolded with a smile: "You know a fart!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and scratched his head, "I can't imagine that such an elegant Bai Shi can also swear! ”

The smile on Bai Yu's face still did not fade, "Life must be happy! If you don't say a few more words, you may not be able to say anything in the future!"

"Phew, Bah, Crow's Beak, who is two rounds younger than me, is really disgusting to say such nonsense!" said the old man with great displeasure.

Bai Yu showed an unusually contemptuous look on his face, "Two rounds, you will really put a high hat on yourself, but too, you should enter the coffin before me!"

The old man nodded, "That's not it, remember to pick the most expensive coffin for me, I picked the place myself, the mountain behind the house, the highest place, when I am alive, I can't be the top of the mountain, I have to lie on the highest place when I die, I want to see the mountains at a glance!"

The disdain on Bai Yu's face was unusually strong, "A good poem is said to be like this, vulgar! vulgar!"

"If you get bored in the future, I can give you half a place. Lao Fang suddenly said very seriously.

Bai Yu snorted coldly directly, "Whoever wants to be a neighbor with you, these nephews of mine will definitely find me a good place, you can't envy this!"

Hearing this, the old man rolled his eyes and left angrily.

After Lao Fang left, Bai Yu showed an extremely guilty expression on his face, "If that time comes, how can I have the courage to see you again..."
